Where I'm From
By: Bethany Hinckley

I am from sandles, from Rainbows and Reefs.
I am from the salty sea air.
I am from the palm tree swaying in the breeze.
I am from the sand spur
whose prick I remember as if it were yesterday.

I am from family outings an time spent together,
from Butler hugs and Hinckley jokes.
I am from the holidays filled with family and friends,
and Christmas at 6 am.
From richness in love and kind spoken words.

I am from the Holy Trinity, filled with peace
and God's everlasting love.
I am from Florida, sweet oranges and cinnamon rolls.
From the kindness and love of my mother's heart,
to the dedication and hard work of my father.

I am from pictures on the wall and scrapbooks full of memories,
never to be taken away,
and cherished for centuries to come.
